Value Delivered
For the C44 Reservoir/Stormwater Treatment Area Project, we constructed the S401 Pump Station—a cutting-edge, fully functional station with a nominal capacity of 1,100 cubic feet per second.
We provided a wide range of services for this roughly 21,000-square-foot concrete structure, leveraging our project management and value engineering expertise to help the project run efficiently and effectively. Altogether, this massive infrastructure project included more than 10,000 cubic yards of reinforced cast-in-place concrete and well over 1,300 tons of reinforcing steel.
Client Objectives
The South Florida Water Management District needed a pump station to move water from the C44 Canal to the future C44 Reservoir via the existing intake canal.
Solutions
The pump station is a three-story structure. The lower gallery level includes four concrete forebays with a service bridge; the ground floor operations level has a pump room, restroom, work room, electrical room, fan room, and equipment room; and on the second floor, there is a control room, break room, and mechanical equipment attic.
During construction, we provided and installed the following:
- Four three-phase, medium voltage high-head lift pumps
- Associated engines, equipment, and controls for both local and remote operation
- 275-cubic-feet-per-second pumps
- Various support systems, including:
- Overhead crane
- Potable drinking water system
- Septic tank system
- Compressed air system
- Trash rake and conveyor system
- Dewatering panels
- Generator
- Liquid propane fueling system
- Sump pump system
- Stilling well system
- Site construction, including:
- Asphalt paving
- Security fencing and gates
- Roads
- Swales and culverts
- Electrical transformers and pads
- Engineered metal building
- Lined approximately 600 linear feet of the C44 Intake Canal with articulated concrete block mat (ACBM) utilizing sheet pile wing walls
- Supervisory control and data acquisition, communication, fiber optic cabling, computer, and security systems
- Permanent power coordination and installation with Florida Power and Light
- Dewatering
- 78-inch steel pipe
- Control building
- Mechanical/HVAC work
- Electrical work
- Instrumentation and controls
